Paragon FX Group announces new line of Blade Runner replicas and merchandise in pre-production. Thankfully my car is going to be paid off this summer because this could get expensive. I may actually want to work some overtime if they've got some good stuff in the pipeline. I'm already two months into an 8 month payment plan on the latest Retailer Edition Tomenosuke which will give me all editions of the currently released Tomenosuke line.

Finally a PS5. One of my brothers found only one in stock at a Gamespot in PEI and picked it up for me. Then he told me he would cover half the cost to make up for missed birthday and Christmas gifts over the years. I don’t ask for gifts but on holidays and birthdays I will usually buy my brothers a couple games on steam since they both live in PEI now. Now I just have to wait until next time he drives down. I don’t even mind waiting when it’s a half price bundle.

Finally my attendance bonus from last year is in the mail, six months into this year. Funny thing is my attendance bonus usually goes to call in payouts to get people to take my on calls. The girl who normally does it is back after 6 months off for a back injury and says she's desperate for money so she's already taken my June on call. I've started a regular trend in my shop now because three other guys are also selling out their on calls at $50 a piece.

Found the tv I am upgrading to for my PS5 finally after endless researching. 43 inches as well. It’s actually hard to find smaller tvs now. But 43 inches is a perfect fit for my entertainment center. Gotta wait a month or two to get the car repairs out of the way first.

I upgraded to a 70 something inch with 120hz, but sadly no vrr. For anyone searching for a tv, I can swear by the rtings.com reviews. I've purchased 4 tvs from their recommended lists that scored at least an 8.5 in the hdr gaming category and all of them were BOSS.

Woke up to find out it's Saturday. I completely thought it was Sunday. One of the side effects of working shift work is the time distortion when you alternate between day and night shifts. Slept in to 1pm and was freaking out thinking I would be laying awake all night and have to work tomorrow. But it's Saturday and I don't work again until Monday night. Now if only it hasn't been a giant ball of post apocalyptic fire outdoors for the last two weeks.

Pulled a Community Chest card today.
Bank Error in your Favor Collect $150.
Company finished their employee pay audits since our payroll system was hacked back last December. Some employees are getting money and others have to pay back.
Fortunately pulled the good card today and was told I was owed $150 in back pay which I will get on my first pay in September. Couple other people in the shop were owed everywhere from $170 to $300 in back pay. Unfortunately a couple more had to pay back. One guy on my crew owes $600. He told them just to take it all off his next pay so he can get it over with and not worry about it any more. Couple of those guys already signed up to work a couple overtime shifts so they won't notice the smaller pay.
We have one guy who is a retiree who came back to work as a contractor. They discovered during the audits he was getting double pay because they were paying him on both his old and new employee numbers. Now he owes $7000.

Won $100 on a last minute lottery ticket. All the stores lost their power so I bought my ticket online through the phone app Saturday night. Get a e-mail Sunday morning telling me I won $100 and a free ticket. Actually it works out well because the last three weeks I spent $91 buying full tickets for our big MAX lotto draw which is now up to $70 million plus something like 33 individual $1 million draws. So at least I'm covered for buying full tickets on the big one for the next couple weeks without even having to touch my bank account.

Nice one!
I think they should change that stupid ass 70 mil into 70, one million dollar prizes. Imagine what a difference a mil would mean to 103 winners?! Even 206 five hundred thousand dollar winners! Those big jackpots are ridiculous.
